Check your Tire for any forgien objects Check your wheel to make sure it has the same shape as your other wheels. Did you hit a curb or take a turn too hard and lost control?
If it is rubbing against your Wheel housing you should be able to see some marks.
If you still cannot locate it, turn the wheel all the way right and let someone do circles while you isolate where it is coming from, and have them start braking, see if the brakes rotars are causing it.

Check to see if you have a torn CV boot. Once a little bit of dirt and moisture gets into the axle, it can make all sorts of sounds as it's slowly deteriorating. If this is the case, you'll have to get a new axle.

I had the same problem with my GS-R, but I had over 60,000 miles on it at the time. Mine made more of a clunking sound, but only when I made left turns. Given the age of your car, I doubt your CV boots are worn that much, but you could have unknowingly hit something that cut it up pretty good.

Best of luck.

If you can readily reproduce the noise and you trust your dealer, bring it in for warrantee claim; otherwise, check your front brakes.

How loud is the noise? Do you hear it more clear out from the window or you feel the grinding thru' the chassis?

the noise is semi loud.. i can hear it with my windows up but with the windows down, its a lot louder.. What would happen if i took it to the dealer? i would take one of them for a ride and then they'd see if they can fix it?

idk, if it was a current post, my suggestion would be a screwdriver and push the backing plate away from the rotors on the brakes. cause that's what it sounds like his problem was
